Promotion of Public Education and STEM in Sri Lanka

A report by the Geneva based World Economic Forum titled "New Vision for Education - Unlocking the Potential of Technology" has identified 4 key areas for policymakers to concentrate on.
  1. The skills needed in the 21st century
  2. The 21st-century skills gap
  3. The potential of technology to help close the skills gap
  4. System-wide priorities for stakeholders
The apex engineering and technology professional organizations such as IESL have a pivotal role to play in influencing and promoting public policy on education to be STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) oriented, which is one of the key skills gap area.

The upcoming Council Election provides the members of IESL an opportunity to select representatives who are committed to achieve above goal.

IESL Engineer Journal is now Indexed in the ESCI of Web of Science

The phrase " publish or perish " that succinctly captures the pressure academics feel to produce scholarly work continuously in order to achieve career progress is an age old problem. For example, the phrase appears in an article by Clarence Marsh Case (1874-1946) in the Sociology and Social Research (1927). A consequence of this situation is the need for scholarly journals in which articles with high level of scientific rigour can be published. While publishers of scholarly journals resort to peer-review to ensure that they publish only the highest quality work, the authors rely on impact factor to determine the reputation (ie., quality) of the journal. The Impact Factor (IF) of a journal is calculated for a given year and is a measure of how often articles in that journal have been cited in other scholarly work. For this value to be meaningful, it must be calculated by excluding self-citations and including only those articles that appear in other reputable journals. Ther

This article appears on Digital SLEN (The Official E-Newsletter of the IESL) in Issue 38 - January 2018. Free Trade Agreements - Bane or Boon? In the current climate of arguments against Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) that border on histrionics, it is useful to look back into the history of development of free trade ideas. The first coherent treatise on the subject was the book authored by Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith in 1776 titled "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" (widely known by its short tile of "The Wealth of Nations"). Adam Smith (image source: adamsmith.org) Adam Smith's work was in response to the Mercantilism prevalent at that time which was in vogue since 1500s. Colonialism, from which Sri Lanka suffered greatly (the Portuguese arrived in Sri Lanka in 1505 when their merchant fleets were rowing the seven seas to plunder wealth of other nations), was fueled by Mercantilism that posited wealth to be

A First World Problem in a Third World Country

The Republic of Rwanda with a GDP of $2,090 (in 2016 and PPP adjusted) and ranking 159th in the HDI (Human Development Index) is a small country in East Africa (in comparison, Sri Lanka with a PPP adjusted GDP of $13,012 ranks 73rd in HDI). Historically, the schools in Rwanda were established and run by religious bodies but since 2000, the government has invested heavily in public education. This has resulted in nearly one third of the schools being publicly funded, a compulsory twelve-year basic education, a school feeding program, and major improvements in teaching infrastructure and capacity. The outcome of this progressive government policy in education has been a shift of student enrollments from private schools to public schools and many private schools facing the possibility of closure. The ensuing uncertainty has caused the owners of private schools to request the Rwandan government to support their continued operation. Reference: http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/r
